Maxim Publishes Review of Black Crowes Album They Haven’t Heard

The review in Maxim’s March issue gives the Crowes’ “Warpaint” a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five. The band posted an exasperated statement on its Web site last week saying the Maxim writer hadn’t heard the entire album because advance copies weren’t available. The Crowes’ manager, Pete Angelus, said the magazine explained that its review was an “educated guess.”

Where by “hadn’t heard the entire album” they mean “heard one song”. My four-year-old boy offers more sincere apologies than this. That said, here’s my review of the March issue of Maxim, which I haven’t read: shitty. (Thanks to the wife.)
